Costa Mesa National Padres ousted
The Costa Mesa National Little League Minor B Padres were eliminated
from the District 62 Tournament of Champions, 3-1, by the Seaview
Mariners at LeBard Park Saturday.
Five walks and a single in the top of the first gave the Mariners
three quick runs. The Padres produced a run in the bottom of the
inning, when Alex DeSoto singled in Jeff Carlyle, who stole second
after being hit by a pitch.
The Padres had a chance to score in the third, when Jonathan Ball
singled with two outs and runners on first and second. But a runner
trying to score from second was thrown out at the plate.
Another scoring opportunity occurred in the fifth, when Tyler Rios
and Levi Stillman got on base. A high pop fly by Carlyle could have
scored both to tie the game, but the Mariners’ left fielder made the
grab to end the threat.
Padres Manager Rob Stillman said Ryan West pitched a great game,
at one point, striking out eight of 12 he faced.
Stillman also praised the defensive of first baseman Jake Stone.
